About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire laughter and tears across all cultures.

ABOUT ME

I explored many religions and eventually found faith as an open-minded Christian. Into contact improv dance, and improv acting. I once ran a coffee shop, was a photographer, worked for NBC, and lighting grip for Hollywood. I do background acting, teach kids after school, do street performances, and am a clown to earn money. I am a ninja that helps people, I have a giant wheel of metal, and I collaborate with other artists any way I can.

PHILOSOPHY

The world will be better if we put others first and do what we do best.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many people, from hippies, to homeless, to young punks, to travelers in town for dance events. In the past people found me as a host using craigslist and word of mouth, but now I will use CS to seek people even more different then me so that I may grow as a person. Here is my diary from when I backpacked Europe: http://www.scribd.com/doc/107122794/US-Clown-Backpacks-Europe
